  • UNESCO World Heritage Properties in Switzerland February 2021
    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time. Best regards Kaspar Schürch Managing Director WHES [email protected] Tel. +41 (0)31 544 31 17 More information: www.whes.ch Page 2 Table of contents World Heritage in Switzerland 4 Overview

  • Alpine Sites and the UNESCO World Heritage Background Study
    Alpine Convention WG UNESCO World Heritage Background study Alpine Sites and the UNESCO World Heritage Background Study 15 August 2014 Alpine Convention WG UNESCO World Heritage Background study Executive Summary The UNESCO World Heritage Committee encouraged the States Parties to harmonize their Tentative Lists of potential World Heritage Sites at the regional and thematic level. Consequently, the UNESCO World Heritage Working Group of the Alpine Convention was mandated by the Ministers to contribute to the harmo- nization of the National Tentative Lists with the objective to increase the potential of success for Alpine sites and to improve the representation of the Alps on the World Heritage List. This Working Group mainly focuses on transboundary and serial transnational sites and represents an example of fruitful collaboration between two international conventions. This background study aims at collecting and updating the existing analyses on the feasibility of poten- tial transboundary and serial transnational nominations. Its main findings can be summarized in the following manner: - Optimal forum. The Alpine Convention is the optimal forum to support the harmonisation of the Tentative Lists and subsequently to facilitate Alpine nominations to the World Heritage List. - Well documented. The Alpine Heritage is well documented throughout existing contributions in particular from UNESCO, UNEP/WCMC, IUCN, ICOMOS, ALPARC and EURAC. The contents of these materials are synthesized, updated and presented in the present study. - Official sources. Only official sources, made publicly available by the UNESCO World Heritage Cen- tre, were used in this study. The Tentative Lists are not always completely updated or comparable and some entries await to be completed or revised.

  • Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic
    Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic 1. OC , snow scene, Who’s ready for some fun? And I mean the magical kind of chair lift or sled fun you had when you were a kid…when you woke up to find the world blanketed in snow, school cancelled, and a brand- new sled ready to ride. I’m Jeff Wilson and if you’re ready, I’ve got the ticket to take you there. Come along on Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic. 2. Standard open [Standard open] 3. Montage, scenics There’s no place quite as magical as Switzerland in winter. It’s 07 15 19 almost like a snow globe come to life. Church spires rise above white-laced villages. Crimson horse carriages jingle along frosty streets. And shiny train cars deftly wend their way up mountainsides. 4. OC , on skis For me, the best part about winter time in Switzerland is the outdoor sports. From skiing to skating to tobogganing to snow biking, I mean this place is as good as it gets. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to pack my bags, grab my skis, and hit the snow. 5. For years I’ve been riding trains in Switzerland, and it’s by far the best way to see the country. 6. OC , train station Train travel is more popular than ever , and for good reason . It’s relaxing, eco-friendly, and it’s a great way to get to know a destination and its people. 7. Trains You can bet that the well-connected Swiss rail system will take you to some of the world’s top winter resorts.
